Confused

So I just officially got started this week with MFP. I'm loving it however, I'm somewhat confused by the extra calories that I get for working out. I haven't been using them. Is that good or bad?

I think you can use the exercise calories you burn to eat, as long as you maintain a 500 calorie deficit.0
